Adding buttons on toolbar

Question

On occerance of certain ActionEvent i need to add dynamic JButtons & JLabels on the JToolBar. Initially JToolBar will be empty.
Code below is not working properly...
It is creating buttons dynamiclly but i cant set any property for that one.
class DeviceAction extends AbstractAction
         public DeviceAction()
           // Add this action to the toolbar resulting
           // in a new button getting added to the
           // toolbar
          JButton jbutton = xmlFilesToolBar.add( this);
           xmlFilesToolBar.addSeparator();
           jbutton.setActionCommand( "Dynamic" );
}I will call " new DeviceAction(); " when ever ActionEvent occurs.
I[b] need to have controle over the dynamically added JButtons & JLables, bcoz each JButtons shld do some Actions when it is clicked.
Plz do the needful.
Reg,

If I understand you correctly, you need each button that is added to execute a different action when it is selected. And you are not sure how to do that with this class. Is that correct?
If so you would probably need to pass an ActionListener to the constructor, then keep a HashMap of these ActionListeners that is keyed off the action command being set.
Then in the ActionPerformed method of the DeviceAction, call the ActionPerformed of the appropriate ActionListener from the HashMap.
